review 1: I just happened to see an advertisement for Requiem's Song on my Kindle. I read the summary and thought, "Hey why not?" I took the plunge and bought it. I didn't expect to finish it in a day.The overall storyline is what caught my attention originally, but I found myself falling in love with the author's writing style even more. Each paragraph flowed smoothly to the next, showing an effortless and clean technique.I zipped through the 300 page book, devouring every action filled page. The protagonists are very likable and very human while the villains are all around diabolical.The only reason I do not give this a perfect rating is that the whole book just seems to be about each character escaping something or other. But I give this critique lightly since it is a series, an... mored I fully expected the storyline to blossom in the next books.
review 2: Where to start, I like fantasy novels and this had potential. However, it very repetitive with phrases, text and story lines continually being repeated which at times made for a laboured read. I also tired very quickly of how weak all the central characters were. Beaten, bruised and persecuted but never able to believe they could fight back despite their ability to turn into dragons?!!! This is a fantasy novel yet with little fantastical elements, just poor miserable down trodden people, perhaps that's the point and I'm missing a great revelation, but I want escapist fantasy about strong characters overcoming diversity and triumphing (and not just in the final chapters!) and becoming dragons, this didn't provide it! Am I asking too much?!! ;-) less
